He-saw no reason, therefore, why the pro poe-d,ad:lournment sho'uld riot bc4 agreed to. It could do no harm for at p , resent-the House was not in a condition, if it were inclined to de se, to take up the question in a parliamentary manner. Mr. &ewe' said he could not give his vote on the present occasion without assigning his reason for the vote he meant to give. ik muse critical, awful, and interesting event has occurred to this country. We lee' • en deprived of the plenitude of tilt Executive Authority at 'a -moment when we were placed in a siteatioe unparalleled in oar history. At such a mo rt'ient, and in such peculiar cifcumstances, was it to lie deman :rd of that House to adjourn ter a fort night, and to leave the country not only without the piotie ion of the Executive, but without that ad-. vice and assistance which it might receite, and bad a. riel r to expect, from the other two branches of the Gevernment ? He objeaed, not to the period of t'i adjournment alone, tee ! - e conceived the im mediate assembling of that Hot: , at such a - period, TensaUlt.... The House should use every means in its power, of-gaining, the - ko9.svledge of the real state of the fatt—And. the question was, if they were here a House u. a Conveutiou ? He had no doubt of ihe word of the Chaticellor:of the Exchequo• ; but the eoint here to be considered was he, ther they, iai such a step as that now recetniiieth;ed kr their adoption, were to be satisfied with such evi,.:..nce, as would net prove .=atisfactory to an ie ferior tribunal ? Mr. YVltarsaFoi!Cß cotice'ved that the House must either agi , :ee to the 0:otion of adjkiuratueut, or. pro - ceed to clap . •.into the recolle&ion of the painful effeet of which on a former n': asion, was still ;xesent to his mind. Excel the Hon..Parovor, tl . - vri! was not a single,Hall. Member of all those who had spoken on this occasion, who seemed to this •k that na,-asures should be taken at once .to ero vid for the deficiency which at present unfortunately existed : all the other who had delivered their sen. timents, suggested the propriety - of adjourning from day to dej. sod inculcating the necessity of Gentle_. men being on their posts, to meet any emergency which might occur. He (Mr. Wilberforce) objected to this, from a consideration of the variety of views irrwhich such a subject might be conceived, and the variety of feelings which from day to-day might be produced. Surely, Gentlemen would not wish that so delicate a subject should be coesidered everyday, or from day to day.; and if not, of what use could the meeting from day to day possibly be conceived to be ? He confessed, for his own,part, as it was not stated that any material injury could arise - from the a(inurntnent for a fortnight now proposed—and as,, on the other hand, he could not itgure any ad vantage that could result from the House sitting from day to day, he was inchtied to support the Motion- He was, moreover, persuaded that the House would come .better prepared, at the-end of a fortnight, to consider of the evidence which might then be laid before them, than they could, after having,sat from day to day. He thought the assurance of his Ma jee.)- 's confidential Sallatit was entitled to some cre dit, and he was ieclined' the `:pore to respea it, on the present occasion, from, creiside mg that if Mi nisters had intended to take the House by surprise, they might on the fortner night have adjourned the House till the 29th of November.

The Lisbot Gazette has thtinght it necessary to contradia a statement - which appeared in Tun SUN ,of the 2d ult. relative to the discovery of a conspi racy at Lisbon, and to declare that neither Lord WELLINGTOrt, the English Plenipotentiary, nor any Other individual ib the EngliQl nations took any share it: the measures adopted by the Portugueze Government upon that occasion: Upon a reference to our Paper of the td ult.' We -fitid that this alludes to a Letter Of our Corres ., pondent at Falmouth upon that subject,' which we inserted without any comment, and certainly vAth.- , out any intention of 'misrepresenting the condua of tie Portuguese Government. The report that a number of concealed arms had been found at •Lithon, •-is_positively contradicted. • The too Houses of Parliament met yesterday pursuant to their last Adjournment. AbOve two handl% Veers, and four hundred Members of the House F)f Commons attended. In the House of &Ads, the Lord Caitticat.Lott, and in the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEIAUER moved a further adjournment to the 29th inst., upon the - grounds-that that A-as the period ,to which Par liament was to have been prorogued if it had not been for his MAJESTY'S indiiposition ; and also. that MAJESTIrti health was in such a' progressive state of improvement, as afforded' every reason to hope for .his speedy and complete recovery. The public, we are sure, will hear with the most heartfelt satis faction that the/Physicians who now attend fits MA JESTY, and who attended him upon a former oc ca,ion, declare that they see, in the present state of_ MAJESTY, all the symptoms of -approach to-re covery., and none of the symptoms which indicate the delay of recovery. In the House of Lords, the motion was agreed to without a division .; but in the Commons, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT took .the, sense of the House upon the propriety of adjourning from day to dy, but his motions was lost by a- Majority. of 285. • We have hitherto rigidly adhered to the rule which we precribed to ourselves, of not entering into specul*tions upon the mode of proceeding which omit to be adopted in case his MAJESTY'S •$ ind:spoAtion should, mast 'Unfortunately for the ;`otintry, continue, because we conceived that until ihe case actually occurred, it, would be unnecessary, as well as indelicate, to agitate the question. We have, however, seen some doctrines advanced in a Paper of this morning, against which we feel it to be oq , duty to take the earliest opportunity of en taing out strongest protest. After stating, what every one must admit, that the Kingly power never c,i.ses, and . ;hat upon a King's death, the Heir Ap parent is forthwith proclaimed, the Paper in ques tion p:oceeJs to add : " In the event of the KING'S incapacity, it ought to be the same—and the two Houses of Conven t Lion have only to find thefuct. If it be declared " to them that the KING cannot give his Royal as •` sent to a document which is essential to the or " der of public business, on that moment the de " ficiency should be s , pplied, and the REGENT " should be the 'precise Representative of the " KING." To this, proposition we have no hesitation to give our most unqualified dissent ; it is not warranted by law, or by the praaice of the Constitution of England. The Paper alluded to does not indeed say that the law :5 so, but that it ought to be so. It would be almost an insult to our Readers to enlarge upon the conse quences of adopting such a doctrine. The two Houses of Patliament are to be deprived of the func tions which belong to them as branches of the Le.. gislature, and in a case of Royal incapacity for a fortnight or three weeks, they have nothing to do but tofind the fat.% and on tbAt moment the Heir Apparent is to become the preciserepresentat ive of t he . King, with, course, all the power pf a King, viz. to make Peace or War, to create Peers, to dissolve Parliament, 6:.c. &c. We are very unwilling to pur sue this subject itarthet : the arguments that might be urged against this 4lotarine, and .the cases that might be put to shew the dangerous consequences that might result from it, must occur toevery mind.

It ‘fia s commanded by Col. L. B: and landed at Marhello, but before our troops could form in line, a.consider able French-force came down upon them, taliing ' them by surprize. The whole of the corps, Eng lish, Spanish, and Germans, have consequently been either killed, wounded, or taken prisoners, u ith two pieces of cannon. Orders were given to all the marines in the bay to hold themselves in readiness, on Sunday last, for an assauit on Fort Matagorda, which I assure you is a daring atld hazardous ehter prize. Constant firing is kept up from our batteries on Matagorda, and as fast as the French erect any additional works, they are beat down by our ar tillery, OCT. 26.--Our trade remains very dull, and the apprehensions excited by the infeaions fever have had the effea of Minting up all communication be tween this city and Gibraltar, where the most rigor ow; precautions are taken.

BUONAPARTE's legal assassinations had hitherto been confided to the conscious shades of night; but he is either growing bolder from the habit of des potism, and the experience of servility, or he deems it necessary now and then to impress afresh his vo latile subjeas with that sentiment of terror by which his power is supported. Three women, we tare as sured, were lately shot at noon day, in the Plaige de Qrenelle as spies from England. They were tried, or rather condemned, by a military commission Witch their names, rank, and quality, we. arc unac quainted; but we have the tact from two eye-wit. nesses to the execution. • The Countess DE LISLE, her Most Christian Ma. jesty, died at-Hartwell, on Tuesday, of a dropsy, after .having lingered several years in a very bad state. of health.
